Reading
Aleece has known her letters and numbers for quite some time now and her preschool teacher thought it was a good time for her to start learning to read. This last week we have been working on sounding things out, and she loves it when we ask her to spell words for us, like cat, hat, mom, dad, aleece, moore, stop, etc. Well, last night Val was working with her reading a Dick and Jane book, and Aleece came to me and read the first two chapters by herself!!! We are so proud of her! She is so smart! It's crazy to think she is growing up so fast! A video will follow soon, so that you can all share in our excitement!

Loved, loved hearing her read for the first time on the phone! She can now read me stories as well as try to explain, comfort me through things like the "Series of Unfortunate Events" movie. LOL
Seriously, that is amazing Steph! She is so smart! I am working with 8 year olds right now and to hear that she is doing that is so great! Love you!
ps. Can't wait for the video :)
Congrats Aleece- such a great accomplishment! Just make sure when she starts school next year that the teachers can accomodate her and keep her challenged! We have been pleased with our public school system, they send Maddy to a first grade class for reading time.
I always knew that that girl was smart. :) So glad to see that she is learning so much - look out Harvard!
